I disagree.  If it's someone else playing the same song, it's a cover.
If it's someone else singing different words to the same tune (as is the
case for most parodies), it is not a cover.  I don't think Weird Al's
"Amish Paradise" is a cover by any stretch of the imagination.

Bad - You get pulled over for doing 90 in a school zone and you're drunk
off your ass again at three in the afternoon.
Worse - The cop is drunk too, and he's a mean drunk.
FUCK! - A mean drunk that's actually a swarm of semi-sentient
flesh-eating beetles.
